  • This is a difficult time not only for freelance artists like ourselves, but everyone from restaurant workers, students, family members and especially medical care workers due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. Many of us are suffering financially and more than anything, mentally.
    I am not usually the type to get upset, but since the "New York State on Pause" order took effect, I lost all of my motivation as an actor because we can not predict what's gonna happen next.
    After watching Governor Cuomo's press conference and world celebrities sing John Lennon's Imagine, I regained hope.
    I am an artist. My mission is to deliver my message to you all by expressing under any circumstances. I thought it is time that we, as artists stand up together for all over the world and our Japanese community. That's why I decided to make a video of Sukiyaki (Ue o Muite Arukō) song by Mr. kyu Sakamoto, with lyrics by Mr. Rokusuke Ei and music by Mr. Hachidai Nakamura.
    I caught myself singing this song the other day and it cheered me up. I hope this video will send a message to all over the world and our Japanese community as well as an appreciation to Governor Cuomo.
    We are facing an unprecedented situation, but we are not alone.
    We are all in this together, and will eventually get through this challenge.
    Let’s keep our heads up high.
    Ryuma Matsuzaka
    今NYは新型コロナウイルスの影響で僕たちのようなフリーランスのアーティストだけでなく、経営者の方々、学生、家庭を持っている方々、とくに現在医療関係で働いている方々は経済的だけでなく精神的にも苦しい状況に立たされていると思います。
    僕自身も普段あまり落ち込んだりするタイプの人間ではないんですが、3月21日に発令された外出禁止令が出てからは、予定されていたオーディションや仕事もキャンセルになってしまい、本当に先の見えない状況に今回ばかりは本当に落ち込んでしまい、表現者としの活動意欲も無くなってしまいました。
    しかし連日のクオモ州知事の会見や世界のスター達がジョンレノンのイマジンを歌う動画を見て、本当に勇気付けられたんです。
    僕はアーティストだ。どんな状況であれ、自分の表現で人の心に何かを届けるのが仕事。
    今こそ僕たちアーティストが世界の人々のために、日系コミュニティのために立ち上がって何か勇気付けてあげられることは出来ないか。そう思い今回The Japanese Artists Projectを立ち上げ、坂本九さんの名曲「上を向いて歩こう」をNYに住む合計23人のアーティストで歌うプロジェクトが3月29日から始動しました。ある日この歌が自然と口から出てきて、この歌の歌詞に元気を貰ったんです。
    この動画が世界中、NYに住む日本人コミュニティ、そして感謝の気持ちを込めてクオモ州知事に僕たちNYに住む日本人アーティストからのエールとして届くことを願っています。
    私たちは過去に前例のないような状況にいます。けど私たちは一人じゃない、皆一緒です。皆で一緒にこの困難を乗り越え、上を向いて歩いていきましょう!
    松坂龍馬
    Ue o Muite Arukō (I keep our head up high) ”Sukiyaki”
    I keep my head up high when I walk
    So the tears won't fall
    Remembering those spring days
    But tonight I'm all alone
    I keep my head up high when I walk
    Counting the stars, but they are blurry
    Remembering those summer days
    But tonight I'm all alone
    Beyond the clouds, there is joy
    Above the sky, there is joy
    I keep my head up high when I walk
    So the tears won't fall
    I walk and I cry
    For I am alone tonight
    Remembering those autumn days
    But tonight I'm all alone
    Behind the stars, there is sorrow
    Behind the moon, there is sorrow
    I keep my head up high when I walk
    So the tears won't fall
    Remembering those spring days
    But tonight I'm all alone
    But tonight I'm all alone

    This is ADORABLE. I've always felt a sadness and a sense of nostalgia when listening to this song which is impossible since I'm not Japanese and wasn't born when the song was popular. Guess life really is strange. Anyway, stay safe everyone.

And now I found this version that gives me as much joy during this time as the original. Thank you all, made my day even shine brighter! Arigatou gozaimasu!!

    This is so beautiful and I truly mean it. Even though I learned the language of my ancestors (German), I wish I went for Japanese instead as it's such a beautiful language and culture. it's great to see people in my home country singing such a great song. Sakamoto made a song that can touch us all regardless of where we are and that is one of the things that make his song great... and his song actually re inspired me to start learning Japanese long after my childhood Japanese neighbor ignited the flame of appreciation of Japanese culture many years ago.

    My wife left this world on May 12, 2019. Although I have heard this song many times, I learned the translation of the lyrics a few months later on another video - around what what would have been our 25th anniversary. It reflects my feelings exactly, and hearing the song, or seeing the lyrics still brings me to tears.

    Japanese music/songs have a unique flow of melody that sometimes you don't realize that the meaning of the lyric is actually sad or sometimes tragic, when i was a teenager i used to think that this song is a love song, then i realized this song actually was about someone trying to move on after getting dumped or separated with his couple,...
    anyway stay strong and safe people,...

    In one word, this production is absolutely brilliant. I was nine years old in 1963 when Kyu Sakamoto rocketed to #1 for three weeks knocking Leslie Gore's "It's My Party" off the top of the charts. In the three weeks prior to hitting #1, Sukiyaki moved up 43 positions on the Billboard weekly Hot 100. Nobody knew what he was singing about but they couldn't stop humming and tapping their feet to this song.
    The piano part really rocks. The "whistling" interlude being replaced by the clanking of glasses is great. Putting the singers all together in a video collage took this production over the top. Thanks for sharing.

I heard this song when I was a child though I didn't understand any of it and I didn't even know it was Japanese, but not too long ago the song came up again and that was when I found out. That's when I also found out that Sakamoto-sama unfortunately died in the plane crash of Japan Airlines Flight 123 on 12 August 1985. Great effort and arigatou gozaimashita for this cover.

    I can't listen to the song or sing the words without tearing up, even when I didn't know what the words meant.
    I hope everyone's doing better now.

    I actually still have the entire album, with Kyu Sakamoto flicking his cigarette ash, sitting on a box of Dynamite (labeled in Japanese)! Over time, my favorite on the album is Side 2, track 1, Boku No Hoshi (My Star), a more Japanese minor key, with Western jazz saxophone blending perfectly, and though I understand none of the words, the visual abstract images it evokes are profoundly melancholy and moving beyond words. Sakamoto was one of the 520 killed in 1985, when a Boeing 747 crashed in Japan, still the deadliest single-aircraft disaster in history. To say that a song like this brings back memories is an understatement, for sure. I just never felt anything from the country cover in English ten or more years ago.

    That was great! I was 14 back in 1963 when it came out and I still love the song. It's nice to hear from all of you...being quarantined but I hope when it's safe you can go back home. I haven't been to New York since 1971 and sure like to visit again...getting old. I live in California.

    Beautiful song, beautifully done! I have always loved the song but never knew the words. They hit home especially at this point in history and brought a tear to my eye and a smile to my face. It's sad that there are a few people who don't appreciate a labor of love such as this one, but I'm not going to let that bother me!

    This was wonderful to see and to hear! I remember this song from decades ago when it first became popular in the West and was known (inappropriately) as "Sukiyaki" -- only because that was one of the few single Japanese words Americans recognized at the time (and which they still managed to mispronounce!).
